I look forward to working with the Senate to get my judges confirmed.
(Applause.) I have named some really honorable people to the bench. I
want to thank Senator Hatch and other members of the Senate Judiciary
Committee for kind of putting aside all that political -- the politics
that so dominated the discourse.

The first test, of course, is Miguel Estrada. Fabulous story. He's
a great, great jurist -- a lawyer, will be a great jurist. And I expect
that he be given a fair hearing on the floor of the Senate. I expect
the people of the Senate not to hold him up, not to try to talk his
nomination into the ground, because Miguel Estrada not only represents
the American Dream, but will do us proud on the bench. And I want to
thank the Senators for standing strong for this good nominee. And when
the vote comes up, this guy is going to be confirmed, and America --
the bench and America will be better for it. (Applause.)
